Github pages returning "this site can't be reached" on all github.io repos

Question

Body

I had a github.io page for several years that stopped working recently. I went back and did the tutorial for github pages to see what the matter is. Here is my tutorial page: https://github.com/JackJosephWright/JackJosephWright.github.io

I get "this site can't be reached (with a DNS error) in chrome and "this connection was reset" when in firefox. I even redid the tutorial with my friend on their github account step by step and it worked perfectly. It seems to be something with my account specifically.

I have checked the 'actions' tab and it says that the site has been successfully deployed.

I have made sure that the deploy from branch is selected with the main branch. I even made a second branch and tried to deploy from there, same error.

I have deleted and remade the repo completely several times with no effect.

Any help would be great. Thanks in advance.

Are you sure? I am sitting next to a co-worker who is trying on their computer as well and we get nothing. When I ping the website from the command line i get:

P:>ping https://jackjosephwright.github.io/
Ping request could not find host https://jackjosephwright.github.io/. Please check the name and try again.

Hi @JackJosephWright ,

As you can see in the following screenshot your project hosted on GitHub Pages is accessible:

So maybe the issue is with your network, maybe it's the firewall that isn't allowing connections to GitHub Pages hosted projects.

Can confirm with @davevad93; I can also see the page.

I can't see the page. Is it an browser issue?
